Links To Mikhail Gorbachev and The World Political Forum
The combined research programmes of Civitatis International seek to lay empirical and philosophical foundations for the New World Civilization, a concept for a new world order devised by the distinguished Nobel Laureate President Mikhail Gorbachev and being analysed in high level discussions of former heads of state and government at Gorbachev’s two governance networks and think tanks: the World Political Forum in Italy and the New Policy Forum in Luxembourg.
Civitatis International was often the only British based organisation to take part in meetings of the World Political Forum in Turin, The Monumental Complex of Santa Croce in Bosco Marengo, Budapest and the European Parliament. Civitatis was responsible for producing the published texts and speeches of the assembled heads of state and government for publication by the World Political Forum in their reports, Most notably the inaugural annual report of the World Political Forum: The World of the 21st Century New Unity Fractures, and the proceedings of the New World Political Architecture International Seminar where delegations from Civitatis International participated and spoke at the meeting.

Famous quotes containing the words links to, links, gorbachev, world, political and/or forum:
“An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass,
Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron,
Can be retentive to the strength of spirit.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The market came with the dawn of civilization and it is not an invention of capitalism.... If it leads to improving the well-being of the people there is no contradiction with socialism.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
“And like a prophetess of May
Strew’d flowers upon the barren way,
Making the wintry world appear
Like one on whom thou smilest, dear.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“The real grounds of difference upon important political questions no longer correspond with party lines.... Politics is no longer the topic of this country. Its important questions are settled... Great minds hereafter are to be employed on other matters.... Government no longer has its ancient importance.... The people’s progress, progress of every sort, no longer depends on government. But enough of politics. Henceforth I am out more than ever.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. The orator yields to the inspiration of a transient occasion, and speaks to the mob before him, to those who can hear him; but the writer, whose more equable life is his occasion, and who would be distracted by the event and the crowd which inspire the orator, speaks to the intellect and heart of mankind, to all in any age who can understand him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
